FactGrid talk:The Global Genealogy of Lodges

FactGrid properties for all things masonic

• all properties of particular use in Masonic research

This is a FactGrid search of all the properties that are in use for particular masonic statements. I am not quite sure whether they are well collected. Some might actually mean similar things, some might need a better description of their use.

Why is this work interesting? Basically to run complex queries on how lodges, systems, rights etc. are interconnected. If we will end up with 50,000 lodges (we are presently at 860) we will need good ideas of their connections.

• all lodges, by place of resident with information about founding date, constitution and mother lodge

This is a query of all the lodges with some of the information captured.

Stemma information

If we have documents on rites and degrees we can bring them into complex connections. That involves only two properties:

• preceding in stemma (Property:P233) and the qualifier

• connection in stemma (Property:P234)

The complex thing is here the list of possible connections between two rites or degree texts. Basic statements will be

Item:Q11178 copy
Item:Q23317 translation into German
Item:Q23320 abridgment
Item:Q11182 extract
... see Property:P234 for more

We will need more statements to make more statements about how two texts are genetically interrelated. The perspective is always stemma upwards from the new version to the source. --Olaf Simons (talk) 14:17, 2 December 2019 (CET)
